Welcome back!

This stylish spot practices local traditions: Its one-story buildings are clad in rough-hewn local stone and its water is drawn from a well. Unique among its upmarket competitors, it sprawls over 15 acres at the oasis village’s edge, a plot so extensive that electric carts shuttle guests from the alfresco lounge and rustic bar to the 60 rooms, each with a private terrace opening to Volcán Licancabur. Guests venture out to marvel at the Atacama’s geysers and gorges, salt cathedrals, and flamingo-packed lakes; a team of knowledgeable in-house guides—and numerous vans, bikes, and horses—allow forays to be planned at a moment’s notice. At dusk, guests, warmed by logs burning in open grates, sip pisco sours beneath carob and pepper trees before dining on quinoa and charqui (and the occasional air-freighted truffle), before the vivid Milky Way—and a string of torches—guide them to bed.
